When you get up in the morning, do you find it hard to choose what clothes to wear? If so, you probably need help to make the bigger choices(选择) in your life, like what to do when you’re older. “Brave New Girls”, by American writer Jean Gadeberg, will help you make such choices. It says you must be a brave new girl. A brave new girl is one who is confident(自信), healthy and happy. A brave new girl can realize(认识到) her dreams. To be brave, you need to make a decision for yourself. Other people may tell you what to do, but you should not listen to them. You must only do what you want. If you always wear clothes like your favourite TV star, you must stop doing so. Instead, become your own star and wear the clothes you want. You have to like your body, it says. If you don’t, you will not take good care of it and won’t stay healthy. The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you are confident, you’ll succeed in life. A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as clever as boys. In fact you are. Just look at their grades! Only then can you realize your dreams and become who you want to be.

One of the oldest famous toys in the world is the yo-yo. Historians believe that it came from China. In the 1700s, the yo-yo first came to the west. In the 1800s, the toy was very much liked by children in Victorian, England. In the Philippines ( 菲律宾群岛 ) , the yo-yo was a national toy, and the people became experts ( 专家 ) at making and using the toy. In the 1920s, Pedro Flores brought the first Philippine yo-yo to the USA and he set up (建立) a yo-yo company (公司) in California. He wanted to show people how to use the toy because he thought this would help him to sell more yo-yos. Donald Duncan , who was a clever businessman, bought the idea and Pedro Flores’s company. Soon the Duncan Company traveled all over the USA. They taught and explained (解释) yo-yo tricks, and they held competitions to sell more yo-yos.
In 1946, the Duncan Company moved to Luck, Wisconsin, and the town became famous as the “Yo-yo Capital of the world ”. The company made 36,000 yo-yos each hour. In 1962, the Duncan Company alone sold 45 million yo-yos in the USA. At times, the yo-yo isn’t as popular as before, but then it came back—well, like a yo-yo. In 1992, astronaut (宇航员) Jeffrey Hoffman took a yo-yo with him on the spaceship Atlantis.
